First, this is Reuters. They're intentionally exaggerating the significance of this Big Time.

Second, Cardinal Turkson is not the 'Vatican'. He is the head of the Vatican’s justice and peace office. The justice and peace office is responsible for promoting the church’s social teachings on justice issues, such as war, the death penalty and human rights.

What would you suggest is the proper interval to wait before concluding the Church gives its tacit approval? A day, a week, a millennium?
